Lasting Power of Attorney

Making an LPA allows you to appoint one or more persons (donee (s) ) who can step forward to act on your behalf if you lose mental capacity to make your own decisions. Your donee(s) can act in two broad areas – personal welfare and / or property and affairs matters.

You need to be at least 21 years old, and have mental capacity. You will need to register the completed LPA Form 1 and other relevant documents with the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG).

Please refer to MSF’s website for more details.

You can now draft your LPA online.

To make an LPA:

1. Choose your Donee(s) and decide what decision powers to grant your Donee(s)

2. Draft your LPA online

3. Visit a Certificate Issuer (CI) to certify your LPA and sign using Singpass digital signature

4. Donor and Donee will be notified of LPA status via SMS / email when the digital LPA is accepted and ready
